Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz gold/orange UV fishing spoon #22023

Hammered metallic finishes define the reflective body of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon, a design choice intended to maximize visibility in various water conditions. Cataloged under product code 22023, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) Blue Fox Pixee UV carries the legacy of the National Expert Bait company, which pioneered this model back in the 1960s. The central neon orange insert is firmly seated, providing a fluorescent trigger that collectors value for its distinct appearance. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the specimen shows a bright, well-maintained surface and clear stamping on the reverse side including the 'PAT. PEND.' mark. It comes rigged with a robust treble hook, built to withstand the heavy strikes of salmon or large trout during casting or trolling. The gold/orange UV color scheme is complemented by the traditional USA-made craftsmanship that has made this model a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
